Context

A team distributed between Benin and Japan does not coordinate in meetings. And a public client needs to know where its contract stands without having to ask.

Challenge

Daily reporting is the first thing a team abandons. It had to take under two minutes, be prompted without a manager having to do it, and feed directly into a usable progress view — rather than ending up in a chat thread.

Response

A Slack bot — “Groot Bot” — sends reminders at scheduled times. Members submit their report through a multi-step form, short by design. Reports feed a project-by-project view: title, description, progress percentage, days remaining, tasks in flight and assigned members. Team management distinguishes roles — super administrator, project manager, member. It is from this tool that we steer our public contracts, including the National AI Programme.

Capabilities

Guided daily report

A multi-step form, deliberately short. What takes two minutes actually gets filled in every day.

Automatic Slack reminder

“Groot Bot” sends reminders at scheduled times. Nobody has to chase reports.

Per-project progress

Progress percentage, days remaining, tasks in flight and assigned members, project by project — including public contracts.

Team and role management

Super administrator, project manager and member. The team is distributed between Benin and Japan.
